15.2 Installing the Contributor Console Window

The availability of the Contributor console window is optional and is not deployed to by default. To deploy the Contributor console window, you must do it from the General Component Information window of Site Studio Administrator, and click the Enable link on the Contributor Console Enabled line. It is also possible to disable the console from the same location in Administrator. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator and Managers Guide for Site Studio.

15.3 Launching the Contributor Console Window

Once enabled, there are two ways to launch the Contributor console window: navigating to the Contributor console URL, or using the key commands. Navigating to the Contributor Console Windows URL Users can navigate directly to the Contributor console window if its URL is known. The following URL is where the Contributor console window usually exists in a Site Studio installation: http:server_nameinstance_nameresourceswcmbasewcm.console.htm Using Key Commands From within Contributor, the key command Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E will launch the Contributor console window. The latter key command displays all the runtime errors in addition to opening the Contributor console window, if it is not already open. Using a key command, a Contributor console window can be launched from any web page containing a reference to wcm.js. This means that you can launch the Contributor console window from any Contributor-enabled page that is in focus; for example, contribution mode, the contributor form, the static lists row editor, the link wizard, and so forth. When the Contributor console window is launched via a key command, it iterates through the linked list of contexts looking for the root context. When the root context is located, the Contributor console window is launched from that page and all logging instructions iterate through the linked list of contexts and log to the open Contributor console window. Execute Executes the code entered in the command window. Clear Clears the command window. Context field Enter the context file name or ID to execute within. Command Enter the command or scripts to run. Note: If the Contributor console window is not installed in the weblayout, then Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E opens a generic error dialog if there are runtime errors. The error dialog only displays runtime errors, not runtime logging. Element Description 15-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Technical Reference Guide for Site Studio
